Lonely Planet review

A visitor could be forgiven for taking one look at the outside of this particularly ugly hotel and running off to the competition. That would be a pity, however, as its ruby-marbled, floral-carpeted makeover makes the Sheraton one of the most grandiose venues in town.The Sheraton is particularly well placed for the frayed-nerved businessperson who is looking for easy access to the city but who has time to unwind in the landscaped garden, lounge in the attractive pools or dip a toe in the hotel's private lagoon. Many of the recently refurbished rooms, with work stations, spacious bathrooms and elegant decor, have balconies overlooking the corniche. With a strong city-centre feel to the location, the Sheraton is not the most obvious holiday venue. That said, tourists are beginning to value this little piece of repose in the heart of the city, and rooms fill up quickly throughout the year. With a good Mexican restaurant and a tapas bar, a nightclub and a variety of water sports available, there is plenty to keep all types of visitor amused.
